Bait My Clickhole

#6

Has anyone else noticed that buzzfeed started posting its own hamfisted clickbait parodies?

I went, I clicked a couple, I thought "Very funny". Not the site but that you tricked me. Trust has taken a hit. When trust is gone then we will probably break up. Bad enough that the Onion went from funny to opinionated just like the TV show M*A*S*H did (Die Alan Alda, die). I blame Baby-Boomers (stupid name). Acting all hip then becoming their parents. Now listen up: Children are not cute or adorable, especially yours. Your children now in their 20's or so are insipid morons. Totally clueless and smug. It is because you called your son "Sport" and made him smoke dope with you. Lame. How many episodes of "Friends" did I watch? Can "Sport" count to "zero"?
How bad is it? I will tell you. I saw some "true crime" show recently. The show needed a young female author to fill the viewers in on nuances we may have missed due to bad acting. She had written a book about the Manson Family (look out Bugliosi) and stated to the viewers, "The Manson Family were at the core of the hippie movement in the 1960's. What???? What???? What????

Wot

today a buzzfeed writer was fooled by a clickhole article on twitter XD

link???

tried to play it off later ("im not unaware that the article was lighthearted guys") but i doubt you'd have that initial reaction without being fooled/confused

this is still the best take on the form imo

^ I like that one but Feedbuzz suffers from the same problem that made 99% of SA unreadable which was EVERYTHING WAS TOO FUCKING LONG

yeah agreed, i just like that one post individually

lol at the Buzzfeed staffer getting taken.

i think what feedbuzz didnt get but what clickhole does is it's not enough to make fun of the form, which is very easy and simple and which basically anyone can do (see every bad "You Won't Believe What Happens Next!" Upworthy joke on twitter), but the content actually has to be funny to

o

loved feedbuzz and it was kinda a lark anyway so don't think it's a real slam to say that this thing one of the more consistent comedy institutions of the past twenty years has come out w/ betters it

pretty much the hole fake onion sites fall into where they don't understand humor and think the formula is fake news (wish fulfillment) plus words means funny

There was an article somewhere about how some of those sites may not actually be trying that hard to be funny, just going for clicks based on confused shares.

Good for them, I have heard uploading lots of shit to the web gets you clicks

feedbuzz was way more variable, but that was part of the fun. it had lower lows but it aimed for the bleachers sometimes.

the daily currant is the one that poses as unfunny satire to confuse people

irl lol at this:

"In Defense of Beach Culture"

a missed ilm precovers opportunity

dying at 'Driving Is Like Surfing With Cars'

I AM ALL THAT IS
SUZETTE

i liked this quiz!

The plus-size models one - remove the bits about the word balloon and they are almost exactly the Dove ads from a few years ago. "What’s the matter? Do you think there’s something wrong with this picture? Well we’ve got news for you: That’s your problem, because she is a stunningly desirable woman, no matter what Hollywood says she’s supposed to look like"

A Sand Is A Tiny Tiny Rock

hard to tell if that's mock love or mock wilson song title

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Palm_Beach_Band_Boys#The_Palm_Beach_Band_Boys_Strike_Again

I just assume most websites are long-running meta jokes.

waiting for a literally unebelievable spinoff to show up

Those Beach Boys songs are spot-on.

i like that they go to the trouble of having a functional quiz and have different blurbs depending on how many you get right.

the friends episodes one also funny. as is the 'which lion from the lion the witch and the wardrobe are you?'

Literally Unbelievable has decided to absorb Clickhole into its regular Onion content I guess.

Awesome- given the fact that it's pretty indistinguishable from the actual clickbait shit on any given facebook feed I'm not surprised to see a lot of confusion.

stars cream

shared the beach boys thing on my facebook, an earnest discussion of the beach boys has begun between friends who have clearly not clicked on/read the link.

ask what their score was

I like how they kept calling Dennis 'Denny'
